I Wish We Took Mcneil Instead Of D'brick
Ignore i've changed my mind

I'm watching the SD game and I see McNeil run up feild in from of LT and lay out a block. I thought this guy wasnt supposed to be athletic and he couldnt run upfeild. That was the only advantage D'Brick had over this guy, the ability to go upfield and block. But here this guy goes and does this. Oh well. Maybe Ferguson will beef up this offseason and become awsome. I know it was only his rookie season but hey this guys a rookie too.

i looked to the side of this topic just to check if this was a topic by evanston cause this kinda topic he would start (no offense), but u do have a valid point. yes he is better right now but hey what can u do, its not like d'brick is bad and he'll get better too so.

That was not an advantage Brick had over McNeill. It was already established before the draft that Brick was not a great run blocker. They drafted him to shut down the better DEs in football, not to throw blocks downfield. I haven't watched too much of SD this year so I'm not gonna say that Brick was better than Mcneill. I will say that they are both rookies and Brick has much more room for improvement than Mcneill.

yea at least i give good points. I actually thought about it now and im glad we took D'Brick because he has a lot of potential and i trust he'll have a great work ethic to get him to elite from. ive changed my mind. I'm gonna put like a sub title that says ignore

me for making this topic it was very evanstonish. I will repent to Brad Smith. lol

I was actually gonna post that I thought this was written by Evanston haha

Sigh. How was Mike Tannenbaum supposed to know that McNeill would adjust more quickly to the NFL? It frustrates me when people talk about what we SHOULD have done. NO.That is part of the past. We didn't. The end.Besides, D'Brickashaw showed alot of potential. He's just under the spotlight, being in New York and number 4 overall. Give him time, he'll be better.

It is better to destroy than create what is meaningless, so the picture will not be finished.

scouting and drafts arent' perfect. everyteam cousl say they'd rather have this person or that person. get over it. its not like brick sucked

McNeill was never going to go in the top 10 and Brick was projected to go then and the Chargers picked him up in the middle of round 2 meaning a whole lot of teams didn't feel he could be a low 1st rounder and I'd rather have Mangold than McNeill too.

Yeah maybe we could have gotten Haloti Ngata in the first...and than Mangold and McNeill...that would have been nice...but what are you gonna do? We can bitch all day about this?

I still think D'Brick has the better long term prospects. McNeill has pretty much maxed out his ability. Brick hasn't even come close to what he's capable of. When the training crew get more time build him up...Brick will be unstoppable...and a lot better than McNeill.

I think D-Brick has to be a new breed of OT.......walter jones, ogden etc.....they have trouble with guys like freeney and merriman but he was solid in his pass blocking all year for a rookie....dont be discouraged because mcneil played on a o-line with a bunch of solid vets and benifited from this.......... D-Brick had to learn on the fly

I'd rather have D-Brick...McNeill has a degenerative back problem which kept him out of the top 10 so he prob wont be around for over 10 years like Brick..

Exactly! maybe right now McNeill looks like the better prospect Brick will last alot longer. Big huge nasties like him will always be hindered by back problems especially if he was it early in his career. I can really see him deteriorating in the next few years while Brick is still strong and ready to go.

there's diff kind of OLine guys, you pick one to protect the QB or you pick one to protect the RB it is RARE that you can find an OLINE that does both and does it consistantly - i really miss what his name kevin mawai
